Am I the only one who doesn't really care about graphics? (lemm.ee)

As video games develop more and more over the years, companies have been making them more and more realistic-looking. I can guess this is related to expectations, but am I the only one who doesn't care about graphics? We could be using the same processing power to store worlds that have as much exploration potential as the Earth itself if we weren't afraid to save on processing power by going back to 8-bit.

i think stardew valley is itself proof that detailed graphics are not a requirement for good game play.
